Is My Black Widow Full?

[r0xanne]

I have 2 black widows and they both have got fat, im not sure if they are eating too much or if they are pregnant, its only on their bellies that their fat. Whenever I go into a fish shop and see these fish they all look normal/slim . They have been fat for a few weeks now, am I doing somthing wrong?

Thanks

And as you can tell im a beginner and there isnt much I know about fish so any advise would be helpful

Black widows are egglayers so they can't be pregnant, they could be gravid with eggs however. How much do you feed them? all the good you put in the tank should be gone within a few minutes, twice a day.

Hi, thanks for that. would there be a reason for them not laying eggs. I feed them once or twice a day.
